it wouldn't make any sence to have it in the middle of the night when everyone is sleeping. during the day there is a full team on hand incase of any problems.
Most companies would appeal to their larger base and have employees come in at night to take care of the issues.
Just a decision each company makes. Fortunately the EVE downtime is only about an hour or two a day instead of a half day once a week.

Wrong. Only a tiny minority of companies can even afford to *consider* doing that sort of thing. The vast and overwhelming majority of companies do not; having less than ten employees total, there's no way on earth that they could afford to hire people on night-shift rates.
WTF planet are you living on. Almost all the main stream MMOS that are out currently start maintenance cycles early early morning and attempt to have them finished by mid day.
And I am not faulting CCP on this as their maintenance fits perfectly with me, however, that is because they are in a completely different time zone than I am (-4 GMT). EUR has a different opinion im sure.

I'm confused by all this talk about 'morning', 'mid day' and 'nighttime'. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me, considering the global nature of the internet and the round nature of the globe...
Any time will be inconvenient for someone - even in the same timezone some people might think it a convenient time and others an inconvenient time.
I seriously doubt you will find anyone to argue with you on your point, however, a company would, in most cases, be more protective over their biggest regional income if they have the ability to.
I'm not entirely sure where CCP's largest income is, though if it is the US, it is obvious they aren't catering to us as they already stated they do their maintenance during their normal work day. I'm sure if there was ever a server split where the US had a server by its self, we would experience the inconvenience too.
